Pure Chewing Satisfaction, the second Lard album and the follow-up to The Last Temptation of Reid, surfaced in 1997 on Jello Biafra's own Alternative Tentacles label, with Al Jourgensen producing. Lard is the side project that yokes the former Dead Kennedys singer to Ministry's Jourgensen and Paul Barker, and the recipe hasn't changed a bit.
Jourgensen's guitars and Barker's bass lock into an industrial hardcore grind that doesn't so much build as tighten its grip, relentless enough that the Fort Worth Star-Telegram likened it to Ministry's "Just One Fix" multiplied several times over. What keeps it from turning into wallpaper is Biafra, quavering and sneering through angry political rants with a nasty streak of humor. The war on drugs is his favorite punching bag, and "I Wanna Be A Drug-Sniffing Dog" comes at it from a gloriously warped angle. Lard has barely played live, so records like this are about the only place the beast gets loose.
